Generation Legacy Issue #13 "Genocide" - Part 1

[Aenion]

Karen smiles weakly at Kelly's comment, "Let's just hope it doesn't get out of there at all..."

"Does it mean that staff I hit her over the head with?" she asks in a whisper, not really wanting to disturb Gilden, "We broke it ... right?"

 

[Tokiwong]

Gilden ignores the dig about taking control of Ebon Thorn, but if it was as powerful as he thought it was then the last place it should be is in the hands of the Red Witch. "Where and when did she gain this artifact? Also tell me why does your mistress wish us to attack Genocide?"

“I do not know how she came to possess the Ebon Thorn, that secret is hers alone. Why else? The Mistress desires power, he is an obstacle that stands in the path of her dominion. A casualty that must die if she is to ascend,” the little demon hisses.

“But you have the gift, this power could be yours… you are younger, your ambition could outstrip hers… you could have the power to return your world… your people, even your family,” the little creature quips.

The little Red Witch grins at Karen, “The Ebon Thorn cannot be destroyed…”

Cassie

*POW!*

Ryan goes down in a heap, looking down she sees herself lying on the ground. Cassie lies their gasping for air…

Cassie

*POW!*

Ryan goes down in a heap, looking down she sees herself lying on the ground. Cassie lies their gasping for air…

Cassie kneels by herself, trying to put her at ease. She had put the force in that she knew would take to hurt Ryan, and it had hard enough to hurt..herself.

"Why the trickery? I came seeking you." she asks as she checks herself. "No need to hold me back, I wanted to come to you. Why do this.. charade with Ryan?" she asks as she waits for the injury to heal.

 

[Mimic]

"Gilden, why not ask the identity of the agents that the Red Witch and the Overseer have placed here at the Institute?"

"I will but there are other questions I want answers to first though."

“But you have the gift, this power could be yours… you are younger, your ambition could outstrip hers… you could have the power to return your world… your people, even your family,” the little creature quips.

"Do not try and tempt me creature, I know the price I would have to pay for that." Still a part of his mind wonders what it would be like to see his parents again...

"How do we unbind the Ebon Thorn from the Red Witch? What is she trying to ascend to? Who and what agents does she and the Overseer have with in this Institute?"

"Why the trickery? I came seeking you." she asks as she checks herself. "No need to hold me back, I wanted to come to you. Why do this.. charade with Ryan?" she asks as she waits for the injury to heal.

Cassie lies there looking up, “You didn’t come looking for me, you came looking for answers,” she says between gasping breaths, “I am not sure if you will find what you are looking for.”

“Yeah maybe she will,” Cassie hears her own voice speaking from behind her.

“There are no answers,” her gasping self quips.

Behind her, stands another Cassie, dressed in biker leathers. She has a rough edge to her. The tough girl spits, “Oh really? Are you going to believe her or me?”

The Summoning

The creature looks away, answering, “It is impossible unless…” she pauses, “unless you could find where she has hidden her essence, her very soul… only then… yes, only then could you break the bond and take the Ebon Thorn for yourself. It is the source of her immortality…”

The creature grins, “She may be immortal, but there are finite limits to that power… but if she could tap into the energy of…” she glances at Ryan, “a higher power… then perhaps… There are limits to my knowledge, I do not possess the answers to your last question, but I do know that one close to one of you will betray you… perhaps unknowingly, perhaps even now as we speak.”

Kal whispers, "I don't know..."

"Perhaps," Cassie says standing up, "but that doesn't mean the answers aren't worth looking for. I think something, some clue to the truth is here. The docotrs said the past was most likely hidden and locked away in me somewhere. I doubt that anyone else can get to it." She looks to the two alternate version s of her. "So how do we look?"

Cassie’s rougher self shrugs, “I have no idea, I am you, remember? I am your tougher side, the side that takes over when you want to dismember people, the side of you that likes the thrill of the fight. Her over there, that is what I like to call the weak side, the side that wonders what others really think about you, man she is so emotional.”

The gasping Cassie glares, “I am not weak, and that isn’t fair.”

“Whatever, get up, you are not hurt that bad,” she spits again cracking her knuckles.

The emotional Cassie stands, “You should turn back,” she says to Cassie, “it is for your own good… but if you want to continue then well I won’t stop you.”

"I'd say we need to find the truth, look at us, unfocused and conflicted." Cassie says looking form one to the other. "So, we can do what we always do and work together or stand here bickering like. It's the balance of my warrior and thinker that makes me effective. Together we've always worked things trhough."

“Together?” the leather clad Cassie responds, “more like I have had to carry miss cry me a river around when things get tough.”

The emotional Cassie sighs, “Why are you so mean to me? And I am not your intellectual side, she never does much but just sits around and thinks… she is fairly dull.”

“I can agree to that,” the tough Cassie replies.

“But if you want some balance, I guess we should track her down, she likes to be alone,” the emotional side of her adds.
